Risk Assessment

The table below is a risk assessment of all the potential hazards that could occur when we are filming. The table states what the hazard is, how it is a risk to us, the likelihood of the hazard occurring, how serve the incident could be and the actions that we could taken to prevent it from occurring.

Hazard	Risk	Likelihood	Severity	Action
Fields long grass	The person filming or the person acting could trip over.	The likelihood is low as majority of the grass is cut short.	The severity of  this  low as the most that could happen could be that you get a grass burn.	We could make sure that we watch where we film and be wary of any long grass.
Grass snakes	There is the risk of grass snakes being in the grass and if we accidentally trod on one it could hiss or bite. Very rare that they bite but still could occur.	The likelihood of this is low as they only really come out in the summer. They hibernate in October to April.	The severity is low as grass snakes do not really attack, only hiss.	Watch where we step and beware of any creatures that could be in the grass.
Bench	The risk is that when walking along the bench someone could fall.	The likelihood is low as just have to be careful and keep our balance.	Low severity due to the fact that the bench is not that high up, so the fall would not affect you.	We need to be careful when walking along the bench. possibly find an alternative if it becomes too much of a risk.
Other people around	People could get in shot or we could get in the way of their day to day lives.	The likelihood is high as some of our filming locations are  public areas that a range of people use.	It isn’t so much an injury risk, more in the fact that it could affect our film. Therefore, the severity is low.	We have to make sure to be aware of our surroundings at all times. Take care and beware of what the people around us are doing.
Dog walkers and their dogs	A dog could attack if it is running around off a lead if we accidentally do something to alarm it.	The likelihood is medium as the location we are using is popular for dog walkers.	The severity is low to medium depending on the type of attack.	We have to make sure to be aware of our surroundings and try not to cause any alarm to dog walkers and their dogs.
